Can you have bruised ribs from breast augmentation? (Photo)

February 9, 2016
Asked By:Yyztomia in Toronto, KS

I've been feel strange soreness behind my implants, I've been doing some Googleing and I seemed to have found similar people describing it as "bruised ribs". I think I may have been doing too much during my first few days and i started for feel soreness after a week. It's been 2 weeks exactly and it's gotten better but still in isolated areas in both my breast. Can bruised ribs occur from BA especially from being over active during my recovery? If so, how long does this typically take to heel?
